Ray got sick at the beginning of the season and we all felt horrible for Ray because we all love him. But at the same time, you've just got to keep moving on, and John stepped up and took his place and has done a great job.
brought fun guys hard love playing plays question rid team work
There's no question we're playing better team defense. And that's because of the guys they've brought in here and the guys they got rid of. It's a lot of fun again. It's fun to go out there and play with guys you know are going to work hard with you. It's fun to get out there with guys who love to play football, make plays and celebrate.
brought guys reflected team
They really brought in guys that are going to play team football. Guys who are going to put the team before themselves. And I think it's reflected in our practices, our meetings.

There has been such a release of joy and energy from this city. It sure feels good to bring these fans what they wanted.
conducive football happening last team
With the team we had last year, I think he did everything he could with that team. There were just some things happening that just weren't conducive to a championship-caliber football team. Those things have been addressed this year, and that's why we're winning.

We all have a lot of thoughts about it. We'll keep it to ourselves. We'll wait until we play Phoenix.

Whatever you do, you just have to be under control.

Without a question it's the most comfortable, best-fitting helmet that I've ever put on. I'm not even aware I have it on -- and in that way it does enhance my game.
bunch execute guys sure
We had a bunch of guys out there who weren't really sure what they were doing (last season). We've got a bunch of guys out there right now that are much more responsible to their assignments, and that's why we were able to go out there and execute when we had to.
drives gave work
We still gave up way too many points. We gave up (two touchdown drives of 70-plus yards). We gave up too many big plays. We've still got a lot of work to do.
checks guys obviously picked rocky rushing
We're getting better coverage. Our linebackers are more sound. We're getting better checks and better coverage. Guys like Rocky (Bernard) and Bryce (Fisher) have obviously picked it up for us, and they're rushing the quarterback really well.
chance cut decided given guys number picked powers starters talent team teams whatever
We have a number of guys on this team that have been cut by other teams that really we picked up off the street, guys that weren't given a chance in other organizations to play, for whatever reason. The powers that be decided they didn't have the talent to play at this level, and these guys have come in and been starters for us.
chance cut given guys number signed stars teams
We have a number of guys who have been cut by other teams we signed off the street. Guys who were not given a chance in other organizations to play. These guys come in and have been stars for us.
bigger blew deal games goes lost number people won
We blew a number of games we should have won defensively. It all goes back to that first game when we lost and people like to make a bigger deal out of it than it was.
